Course contents:

Dramaturgical selection of a motif appropriate for TV or film recording. Organizational preparations - development of the TV dance theatre project screenplay, scheduling (dramaturgical balance and drama staging). The TV point screenplay with the schedule is particularly important for production, the director and other colleagues: the script writer and costumer. Consultations with the TV director, dramaturgist who are to arrange the program, production about project finance, set designers and costumers about the story, interiors and exteriors selection, with the cameraman about manner of recording and lighting a TV ballet, etc. It would be ideal if the choreography student were in attendance with their own TV dance theatre project, implemented in collaboration with the HAMU Composition Dept. and with a FAMU director, cameraman and production. Motivation: The most successfull project will be registered at the Zlata Praha TV Festival and Video Danse Festival in France. In the worst case, the choreography project is filmed with a video camera by FAMU students.
